Angelina Jolie 092607 05

The Most Beautiful Woman In The World, Angelina Jolie, knows she's taking moonbeams home in a jar or however else you want to describe her perfect life. Here she is appearing at the Clinton Global Initiative Conference. Whenever she can, she brings starpower to the causes she believes in. She's a damn saint. After she dies, she'll appear to small children in impoverished South American countries and cause a religious furor.

The third annual Global Initiative conference drew world leaders, celebrities and scholars for three days of panel discussions and smaller working sessions about four broad topics: poverty relief, global health, education and energy and climate change.

More than $10 billion was pledged toward world causes in the first two conferences, and participants were expected to pledge more this year.


Former president Bill Clinton runs this bitch, and the cool thing is - if people don't follow through with their pledges, they aren't invited back. So if Angie says she's going to adopt more orphanages, then Lycee De Francais De New York or whatever the hell it is better have some new registrations come next fall. Or Bill Clinton says you're out. Unless you blow him. Don't yell at me, it's not like he's not down like that.

most beautiful woman in the world?
ick

No, she's not the most beautiful woman in the world, not even close. She is however the most fake and sickening.

You have to admire her charity work and the fact that she hasn't backed down from her causes. But you're right -- there's something "smug" about her -- something not quite trustworthy.

Just another day in the life of Brangelina. They are definitely a force together. Angie speaking on behalf for education of refugees and Brad working on getting his N.O. project completed. It's a very exciting time.

September 27, 2007 10:45 AM

Do they have anything concrete to show for their humanitarian efforts other than the children Mangie has purchased? In two years, just how homes has Bradly built in NO? With all the money Angie's donated to the corrupt UN, is there anything to show for it? A school? A hospital wing? Feeding a hungry village? I hate this smug bitch.

I think you meant the most overrated woman in the world. I'm so fucking sick Mangelina and her gross skeleton hands.

Does Brangelina ever stop acting? Who takes care of the kids while they trot the globe? We never see the team of nannies that have to be behind the scenes. Only the kids and parents, meticulously coiffed and posing for the cameras. PR machines to the max and very clever with it.

If you want to know what they have done that is "concrete" why don't you google it? You might be amazed at what you find. And I don't believe Angie donates to the UN. She and Brad have their own Foundation. She volunteers for the UN. I don't believe the UN accepts donations. It's run by the member countries. Perhaps you should look that up while you are doing your googling!!!

Looking at one photograph and saying someone is "smug" is grossly unfair. Did you see and/or hear her speech? Didn't think so.

Would you like Angie better if she got caught driving drunk like Keifer; would you like her better if she hung out at Hyde every night like Paris; would you like her better if she neglected her babies like Brit?

Angelina may not be a "saint" but she is a good person and is doing a lot of good with her charity work. What have any of you done lately? Right. That's what I thought.

September 27, 2007 11:27 AM

essie, how did you escape from the Just Jared Asylum for Brangeloonies? What, you can't just list all the tangible contributions Brangelina have made? I thought the list would be vast that the list would come rolling out of your mouth.

And both Brad and Angie are not the best parents. Dragging everyone all over the world pretending they are royalty and deserve special treatment. She's an anorexic skank who's current addiction is adopting children and leading her Pitt puppy around.

And thanks for the lesson on the UN...LMAO

Ok, God help me, I googled them. The site above gives a list of the celebrities who made the largest public donations to charities in 2006. Oprah Winfrey is way out front. Brang (joint) are No.12 on the list donating 2,415,000 to their various charities.

You can't dispute their generosity but I don't think its too far off the mark to call them 'smug'. There is definitely a element of preening in everything they do. Tiger Woods for example, donated $9,500,000 to his various charities . Do you ever hear a peep out of him? No.

Their "gifts" are tax write-offs so it's really the American people who are making these "contributions" and NOT these self absorbed, bloated ticks.

I wish some HUGE star would take on the cause of child sexual abuse. I work in the mental health field and I'll tell you what...the sh*t that I see often stems from this very thing. Someone needs to spend their millions on this horrifying piece of society!

Junkie.

"Angelina may not be a "saint" but she is a good person and is doing a lot of good with her charity work. What have any of you done lately? Right. That's what I thought."

What? What did you think? I work in a nursing hom 50 hrs a week plus and on the weekends I (FOR FREE) go help people in their homes..you know like wipe their ass and wash their pee sheets and make em dinner..like actually DOING stuff for people..free.
I am not tooting my own horn for no reason...it's just that people can do more than wield a checkbook or fly on their private jet to show their face someplace you know?
Asshole.

In small ways some have, T-Bone by sharing their own experiences. It remains a pretty taboo subject. I used to work with EI/MI children and I have to admit, it was a struggle to read the case histories to formulate Tx plans for them. It took everything in me to contain my hostility toward the abusers whom I had to meet with and occasionally send the child back home with...the vicious cycle that stems from child abuse, to this day amazes me and it will continue until, as you pointed out, it becomes an open subject in society. But, you make a good point as there certainly is a tremendous need for funding, programs, education...

September 27, 2007 2:38 PM

Jolie can't keep her kids in ONE school. Maddox is 6? and has been to countless schools across the globe.

This alone should make it IMPOSSIBLE to adopt MORE kids. These adoption agencies need to red flag her and not give her anymore kids. Those kids are going to end up messed up and stupid.

September 27, 2007 2:41 PM

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt get too much publicity and attention for their charitable work. Long before Angelina grew up and moved on from her wild child phase, regular people all over the world have been doing charitable and volunteer service (without making millions of dollars). While it is nice that these multi-millionaires can sacrifice a little time and some money, the regular, every day people (who dont have fancy clothes and money to spare) who commit their lives to service, whether it be through Doctors without Borders, PeaceCorps, are the people that deserve attention.

It is a shame that the media can only bring attention to humanitarian efforts only after superifical celebrities make it their issue.

And Brad Pitt: he is hardly "green." HE FLIES IN A PRIVATE JET WEEKLY.

And the fact that Angelina only "worries about things, like family," doesnt make her a saint, or extra-ordinary. That is the way it should be. Yes, other people also worry and care about their families.

Whoa aggression for people doing good things, fucked up. People with the high powered status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt can accomplish far more by bringing attention to issues than by doing the occasional volunteer work.

But you know what, you're totally right, those three children they adopted definitely have FAR worse lives now than they would have had in orphanages in third world countries.

And Ellie, so what you're saying is no one should donate money because they're obviously only doing it for greedy reasons. You know, they might save paying 40% of that donation in taxes. They're giving the other 60% to avoid paying the 40% to the government. Wow, math skills, that's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard.

I think it's cute that you're all so bothered by their seemingly-perfect lives. Perhaps you should spend your time finding a life of your own than getting mad at others who have one. Or maybe, since you are all also saints, cancel your Internet connection, give that money to charity (but don't claim it as a deduction!) and spend the hours of your life you won't be at your computer volunteering instead. Just a thought!

first of all, you can't compare how much celebrities are donating..oprah is worth over a billion dollars...tiger woods very close to that...so yes...the more you have...the larger your donation..besides....its easy to donate money...has oprah and other celebs gone to places that angelina gone to???? war/ poverty stricken countries...I don't think so!!!!!!

Pearly: you just DID toot your own horn for no reason - unless you meant to flaunt your self-righteous ass. Talk about a pot calling a kettle black. In any case, just because you're "good" doesn't make them "bad." So don't be an asshole.

In the big picture, saints or assholes, time is great and to tell the truth, money is better; because with money you can pay people for their time. Sorry to burst your bubble. Donating time is what average people w/o millions to donate do. Naturally doing both is best but yeah, its not a perfect world.

For fame or not, what Bradangie is doing isn't a bad thing and it doesn't seem right to criticize their actions - even if they don't have the best of intentions they are doing the right things. That's better than some shits who talk talk talk about their wholesome pure intentions of making the world a better place than Bradangie are while sitting on their ass in front of a computer.

September 27, 2007 2:47 PM

People need to stop giving this meglomaniac more validation and attention.

Instead worship INDERJIT KHURANA a truly amazing Indian woman who opened up 70 schools in India to teach HOMELESS KIDS. SHE WORKS WITH THEM EVERYDAY.
SHE IS A SAINT AND SHE DIDNT HAVE MILLIONS OR A FAT WALLET.

read more about her here
http://www.pbs.org/opb/thenewheroes/meet/khurana.html

This is just my opinion, but I think a child who only has soup to eat every day and lives in a tiny hut is better off than a child who has been sexually abused. They at least know that someone tried to love and care for them.

SF: I have to say I agree with "even if they don't have the best of intentions they are doing the right things. That's better than..." no matter what the reasons for doing what they are doing, they are DOING it! It wouldn't matter if Angelina was doing it just to improve her karma, it still benefits the right people...and no, I'm not a fan, I just like to recognize people when they make sense and you make sense!

Whatever I watched that panel and Angelina took up all the time talking instead of letting the Afghan Education Minister talk. The moderator kissed her ass.

September 27, 2007 2:56 PM

MIA FARROW IS 100 million times better.

She adopted kids and gave them a STABLE HOME.
She went to Darfur before Jolie did..

www.miafarrow.org

I'm sorry but how is someone like Jolie with a history of hard drug abuse, cutting, psych ward visits and incest with her brother on public display...how is she even allowed to adopt????????????????????

Now she's got anorexia and is living a "nomadic" life that is anything but stable. Living with Pitt who couldn't wait at least 6 months after his divorce to start a new relationship. Most therapists will tell you that's very unhealthy.

How is Jolie allowed to even adopt?

September 27, 2007 3:07 PM

What's with the who's a better humanitarian competition? Angie has been doing this work for the past 6 years and because of her passion she is able to move up and become more of an influence in Washington. Good for her. Good for all the others that are making a difference in their own way. That's the amazing part when you effect one person you can effect a whole generation and generations to come.

September 27, 2007 3:17 PM

apparently coco has been living under a rock.

yes, Oprah and other celebs go to war-torn and poverty stricken countries. didn't oprah just build a school over in Africa for girls?

I think what most people are saying, Angietothemax, is that they don't really like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They seem to appreciate their charity-giving and the fact that they've adopted children from orphanages, but they question their motivation and sincerity (and the fact that those kids have zero stability). I'm all for them giving away their millions -- believe me. Any kind of giving is better than no giving at all. But their past behaviors have caught up with them, and the general public has a hard time forgiving and forgetting. Maybe I'm wrong - I don't know.

September 27, 2007 3:23 PM

THESE TWO DON"T KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD EDUCATION. ANGELINA SAT ON SOME EDUCATION PANEL? HELL HER MADDOX HAS BEEN TO 4-5 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND HE"S WHAT IN THE FIRST GRADE?

SHE DIDN"T EVEN FINISH HIGH SCHOOL BUT GOT HER GED BECAUSE IT WAS TOO BORING.

CLINTON NEEDS TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REALIZE WHO HE IS DEALING WITH AN ATTENTION MEGLOMANIAC WHO IS DRAWN TO SUFFERING BECAUSE SHE USED to cut herself. She has a dark side that doesn't mean she's compassionate.

if she was truly compassionate she would use her UN work for pr and she wouldn't own 5-7 houses and suvs and helicopter rides ...double standard when you are trying to save AIDS orphans who have nothing.

VOMIT INDUCING. I Can't Stand her.

September 27, 2007 3:23 PM

You know, reading all these posts it really is a case of every little helps, no matter what the source or motive. There is so much pain and suffering in this world, families torn apart by famine and war, that even if a celeb is forking out the dough for tax relief purposes or to make him or herself look good, in the end, really, so what? if it means that some young child or old person has a chance of having a little comfort in their lives.

So I say, go Ange and Brad. Make a difference.

Jolie wastes resources. Who needs 5-6 mansions all over the world? What a SMUG pretentious "humanitarian."

And she went on and on with that gruesome story on her panel to get attention and really take away from discussing ISSUES which she is not qualified to do.

No, you're not wrong T, it is pretty hard to ignore how disgusting these two have behaved in the past, it is hard to ignore their lack of a stable home for their children, but it is also hard to ignore that they are trying to contribute to the world in a good way, now...
Personally, I don't care what people's reasons are for trying to help, as long as they're trying to help. But, it sure isn't going to erase who they really are...which seems to be the bottom line here.

September 27, 2007 3:33 PM

She's ugly inside and out. I can't believe people buy her crappy "I'm a saint" performance. She can't act for shit on screen or off the screen. So overrated... *vomit*

September 27, 2007 3:35 PM

Man, there is no lightening rod bigger than a Brad/Angie post...

Honestly people, have NONE of us ever done something wrong/bad/dark/evil in our past? In some religions, just saying the nasty things that are said about them is a 'sin'. Anyway, I digress - my point is, everyone can change their lives if they want to, and it's not up to us to judge her worthiness to give her money and time away. She is making a difference, even if it is only to ignite this firestorm of criticism, and maybe it will make someone reading this examine their own lives and motives. Since no one can read her mind, you can't claim to know her motives. I doubt someone would spend as much time/money as she does on all her causes if she did not have good intentions. And I'm not talking about a tax break.

And BTW, to whomever said Maddox is getting screwed on his education - you know that HOW? I don't think his grades are made public. Just because Angelina dropped out of HS doesn't mean she won't educate her children. Give me a break!! Perhaps in her old age she's realized the importance of education. And when you become a parent, you do start to realize that the folly of your youth is not something you want your children to do also.

I would never say what they are doing is bad, I was pointing out that people other than celebs do volunteer work. Period.
That doesn't make me an asshole..oh maybe to an Brangelina worshipper it does.

Too funny, bunch of you resentful PLAIN JANES can't do anything but to bitch and deal with your inferiority complex. You should be, since you ARE, all indeed very, very inferior to Angelina, just as your favorite REJECT Miss FRAUD Aniston. Congrats!

September 27, 2007 3:41 PM

How does their past behavior effect anyone here? I didn't know all of y'all were married to Brad I thought only Jennifer was and she seems more than fine. Because you know the aftermath of their behavior has been such a tragedy. Total devastation.

So what if she donates, so do millions of other people, people who are not rich, people who do not ask for recognition of it. She should try to donate some time to a permanent residence so those children can have a stable homelife and go to the same school for more than a couple of weeks at a time and make friends and live in a house and not hotels or temp-homes.

September 27, 2007 3:44 PM

OK! who forgot to lock padded Cell No.37 over at Jared and left Patient Jenfraud out???

September 27, 2007 3:48 PM

Angie did not drop out of school she graduated early at the age of 16.

September 27, 2007 3:54 PM

Some people *cough jenfraud cough* should learn from other people in this blog *cough Angietothemax cough* that name calling and being just nasty to people who express their personal views won't change other people´s opinion. And talking shit about Jennifer Aniston in an Angelina Jolie thread makes you sound beyond crazy. Do you see the picture up there? It's Angelina's not Jennifer's. Deal with it.

With a combined 2006 income of 55 million dollars (source Forbes.com), their charitable giving of 2,415,000 equates to just under 4% of their income. The average American give 3.5% of their income to charity. Sure, Mange and Brad give just under .5% more, but when you consider the disposable income they they have vs the average person, they really aren't doing anything so over the top and certainly not the 1/3 that Mangelina claimed she was giving.

September 27, 2007 3:59 PM

Angietothemax.......'graduated early' eh? I get a kick out of your posts, you defend Ange to the end :)

September 27, 2007 4:01 PM

Ya'll crack me up...so does anyone know how much loose change is under the seat of their car???

I realize that a lot of people hate Angie and Brad and that's okay. But can't we be civil about it? I find it hilarious that people who like them are called "loonies" while the people who hate them and rile and rage against them using the most foul language I've ever heard, think that's okay and normal!!! Makes me laugh, so it's okay!!!

Anyway, the Jolie-Pitts have only ONE child of school age. How do you people know whether or not Maddox is being tutored during their travels? You do know that he goes to that French school which has schools all over the world and they teach the exact same thing on the exact same day in all the schools? So Maddox is not behind in his studies . . . the little "studies" that a 6 year old actually have!!

And, finally, my take on "stability" is that a child who wakes up every morning and goes to bed every night in the same place where his parents are is a secure child and that makes that child stable and happy. It doesn't matter where in the world that child is. A house or a city don't make you stable nor do they make you happy, people who love you make you happy.

And T-bone I totally agree with you on child sexual abuse and I too wish a big star would take up the cause. But why should any star do it? They would only get abuse from people who think they are doing it for the publicity or the tax deduction or to make themselves a saint. Why bother?? I sometimes wonder why any star would bother doing any charitable work. Better to just party every night and drive drunk. Have fun.

September 27, 2007 4:06 PM

why is it that the freakish angie fans ALWAYS think that everything having to do with angie is an angie/jen issue?

jenfraud, seek help. I implore you.

are we at 50 posts yet? :)

She is just a pawn when someone wants attention for some organization. She said recently that she wanted to up her work, please. She is just a name to get attention that is all and people use her when they want that attnetion. I have a sister and a BIL both very, very high up in Washington and they talk about how certain celebs think that they are all big with their political dealings when what they really are is a joke and that is what basically all the people in Washington and around the world truely think. This isn't so about all of them but for most. And AJ is one of them. It is mainly b/c of how she supposedly has changed in the recent few years so drastically but also b/c she acts so erratic and makes little sense alot of the time while there. I think that she may mean well but I can totally see where the people who have spent their lives educating themselves and working would look at someone (celebs) and see them come into DC and just decide to start spewing about certain things and how it would irritate them and be hard to take them seriously.

September 27, 2007 4:18 PM

Essie, I see what you're trying to say but so far I've only seen one person here getting mocked and called "loonie" and that is Jenfraud. I see people here that like the Jolie-Pitt family and people do not agree with them but they are not being called "loonies" because they are not attacking people that do no share their point of view. That's at least my take on this.

September 27, 2007 4:25 PM

T-Bone - I agree completely with your comments on child abuse. It's still such a touchy, taboo subject in our society though, that I imagine that most celebs would be afraid to touch it with a 40 foot pole. Also, not being flippant, it doesn't have the glamour of Africa. Which is sad, because it destroys lives.

Hey, if I didn't believe people could change for the better I wouldn't do the work that I do. However, EVERYONE is accountable for their pasts. And if you've done something stupid, cruel, or without feeling, you're accountable for that behavior and all of the sh*t that goes with it. Angelina and Brad have pulled their share of sh*t. So guess what? You pay the price, apologize and move on. If the public forgives and forgets -- GREAT. If they don't -- well -- keep doing what's right. In the end it's between you and God, not you and everyone else.

September 27, 2007 4:30 PM

hooray ! we're over the 50 post mark ! Do we all get a gold star now?!

Give me a freaking break. Brangelina have absolutely NO influence in Washington or anywhere else. Brad managed to build one house in NOLA in 2 years. What crap. I'm tired of the canonization of these people. The amount of money they donate is NOTHING compared to the amount they throw away on hotels, private planes, houses,etc. Brangelina are very wasteful people and don't give a shit about the environment either.

September 27, 2007 4:38 PM

Celebs accomplish NOTHING in Washington. They are not lawmakers or politicians or diplomats. They raise money which is fine, but it isn't going to solve world hunger or bring about peace in this world. Only world leaders impact the world, not some anorexic movie star and her boyfriend.

I beg to differ United. Go back up and check. I was called a loonie by somebody I can't remember. But, I wasn't talking only about this thread, I was referring to ALL the threads re: Angie/Brad. But, it doesn't matter. As mentioned, I find it incredibly funny and sometimes I need a good laugh. I work for lawyers!!!

September 27, 2007 5:47 PM

I am sooo sorry to disagree with you guys, but for a little boy, Maddox to be entering the first grade and have to move around to different schools all the time..that's messed up.

I know Angelina does good things. I believe they have good intentions but there is something wrong with this picture. What Mom would not care about her kid and just move him around all the time? Very very few people with kids would do that..so

Why the hell is Angie allowed to adopt more kids when they can't be stable parents to begin with?

Of course, other people also do volunteer work. Join the club. I was calling you an asshole for "tooting your own horn" rather hypocritically and in that respect you are. In any case, the type of volunteer work (no matter how menial) you do does not make you any 'better' than Bradangie or any other person who might be helping in a monetary fashion. Nor does it put you in the position to judge the intentions of their actions. While you didn't actually say they were 'bad' you were implying their volunteer work/donations were somehow less admirable because you believe they are doing it for publicity. My point is, whatever their intentions appear to be, the result is nonetheless commendable.

Furthermore, I'm hardly a Bradangie lover, I just don't think a person shouldn't be criticized for helping, no matter what their intentions are - whether it is with time or money.

OMG I never post on these celeb blogs..but
EXCUSE ME
you can tell Angie gets into these meetings and panels to get something out of it for herself. Recognition, Status, Respect, and Adoration.

She looks so smug and dressed up like a phoney.

OMG THAT"S GROSS. NOT HUMANITARIAN.

September 27, 2007 5:57 PM

Yeah that's the feeling I get from this actress while talking about meeting Iraqi refugees ..describing maggots and all...just another way to make yourself look good..hey Angie!!

Stop Exploiting Poor People for your own Cause!
No matter how much money she gives its' the way she gives it that is a HUGE TURNOFF. Self righteous and way too self congratulatory.

HUGE EGO. HUGE HEAD. tiny body.

once you break up someone's relationship, u pretty

much have to fake caring about other people.

really guys yes third world countries have their problems and homeless as well as hungry and orphans but throwing money at then only leads to more weapons and destruction. let the doctors and nurses and the teachers come and lend a hand in education and training staff to look after their own people. we in africa do more to help our own people than the celebs do brad pitless was here in sa when he ran off to meet lollie jolie and he achieved nothing there was one photo of him with a child and he had nothing meaningfull to say and then he ran of to meet her in kenya to have a holiday on the beach so much for his longing to help the poor more like his longing for her you know what. when these two dough bags adopt a kid that has special needs or even a hiv positive kid and give the child a good home and the attention he needs and medical help then tell me about their good deeds all the kids are healthy and can be used to promote them. wonder why she mentioned burma was it because the ex had signed a petion with other actors and actresses before she knew about it and now she jumps on the band wagon look at me and one brain wonder we discovered burma and now we are going to change this country into namabia where we silenced the press and told the goverment what to do and the people could not live free in their country while we where there and no press was alowed without our say so. there is stories to tell about that visite but the bribe and buy their way everywhere. let people sort out their own problems in their countries they have educated and brillant people with good education not drop outs and grade 9 stars to tell them what to do. they should stay at home and keep on doing the bad movies they do and look pretty and shut up just like mr lollie jolie told pitless.

September 27, 2007 8:40 PM

Good lord. What nonsense. Do you people go to articles where others are donating money or doing good in the world and question their motives, their level of giving, their backgrounds, their morality, and even their clothes and the looks on their faces? Do you make equally inane statements based on some pictures about their facial expressions and clothes? This is ridiculous. People that give of themselves and their time and money are to be applauded. Clinton's CGI has been wildly successful and Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt are a part of that. That's all that really matters.

Who the hell does anyone here think they are to judge so harshly strangers? You don't know these people. You don't know what, if any, "sins" they have committed. You don't know the facts of their child's educational history. You don't even know the extent of Jolie or Pitt's charitable endeavors over the years.

I have read here and there over the years all kinds of contributions and efforts made by each of these people. When I read the UN site it says that she has also contributed generously to UN projects for many years.

I have been involved in humanitarian work for over 30 years and no one I know similarly involved spends time questioning the motives of those who pitch in and help. That's a fool's game. They certainly wouldn't spend any time making such vicious comments about people who want to help and actually do help. Ms. Jolie is known and respected in Washington, D.C., among those in government, the corporate and nonprofit worlds. If you are really interested in her history of giving and humanitarian work then go look it up.

I have no idea why people here would engage in such a banal exercise. Quite frankly, some of you are just embarrassing yourselves. Good thing it's anonymous.

September 27, 2007 8:56 PM

Jolie is a JOKE said: Actually the school that Maddox is enrolled in (The Lycee Francais) is an international school with the exact same curriculum at each school. Therefore, when they go to another country, Maddox can continue his studies and be on the exact same page as the rest of the kids in his class. The curriculum is English, French, and then in Grade 3 they start Mandarin as well. Add on the Cambodian that Maddox is learning and you have yourself a first class international citizen.

You are a fool if you think that these kids will not have a first class education. You're looking at future world leaders and humanitarians folks.

Funny how those who have met them first hand have no doubt that Angelina and Brad are genuine, well studied, hard working humanitarians (ie. Bill Clinton, world leaders everywhere, the UNHCR, etc. It's a long list). And yet somehow we're supposed to believe that some complete stranger on a gossip blog knows better who they really are?

Funny how the adoption agencies have seen fit to allow them to adopt not just one, but THREE children, and yet somehow we are supposed to doubt their knowledge and expertise in the matter and take your word instead.

Try again. Those who are doing good in the world don't doubt others' good intentions nearly as much as those who are not. As for Miss Ass-wiper upthread, well, I guess she's the anomaly. I'd be pissy if I wiped asses for a living too.

lollie says: Angelina graduated high school early (age 16). Yes, even then she was motivated to accomplish things quickly. As for Brad, he has the majority of his Journalism Degree from University. I believe he did not finish the last semester. They are much more intelligent than most people give them credit for.

Angie has recently been appointed to the Council on Foreign Relations and is studying International Law. She would not be appointed if they did not think that she could keep up or did not have anything substantial to offer.

Female Skeletor. YUKKKK.

It's great that they are doing good things with their money and time. They SHOULD, they have way more of both than most people should - I just don't want to hear about it every 5 seconds and I don't want to be condescended to by being made to feel that I should be 'inspired' by them. GAG. They do it for the publicity, otherwise we wouldn't hear about it 24/7. And by the way, how exactly is Angelina influencing Washington? Half of the reason anyone is meeting with her is because she is ANGELINA JOLIE and they want to sleep with her. What, is she using her public policy degree to change the world? Uh, no. She doesn't have one. She is an actress.

Toenail fungus is very unsightly. There is also a build up of crud under the nailbed, if you dig it outit has a FUNKY smell. I mean FUNKY. Also, there is a pungent oder that lives deep inside the bellybutton. Dig a finder in and SNIFF...whew!!!

angelina is full of shit. she breaks up marriages, she hurts ppl badly and she tries 2 make ppl think she is a nice n kind person by TRYING to donate n adopt. promoting 3rd world causes is only a pastime to her n nothing else. even her dad finds her crazy. she is full of pretense and is wasting away slowly, i hope she dissolves. N SHILOH IS NOT CUTE. Suri is.

Just the Facts, Are you related to this bimbo or on her payroll? Please if you aren't you should be, what a bunch of hype! She and her sidekick cheating,Pittiful are anti-Christian, anti-American, not that great actors! Nothing more! They both have horrible track records and pasts and NO! These foreign adoption agencies should not allow them to buy these kids! Why don't you directly try to find out if either one of them would even remotely qualify for an American child? And I strongly disagree with you that any of these children will be a contribution to society! Please what cloud do you live under!Time will tell but from past patterns the odds are stacked against them! Will you be embarrassed when the headlines read about these two goons splitting up and these kids being displaced? Will you hang your head when the future headlines read that Shiloh or Maddox or Z or Pax died from an overdose or committed some pain to one less fortunate? These two need to stop embarrassing themselves and stop making movies no one cares to see anymore! Never forget it was our money who lined these fools pockets in the first place and most every is insulted or ashamed of them because of their hypocritical demeaning statements toward us the American public.
Jolie is a phoney. She wants to believe she's some kind of savior. She travels to other countries as a goodwill ambassador...she see's the poor, the oppressed, the hungry and the sick. Then she comes back to the US and walks around with a purse worth thousands of dollars! And don't forget the money she spends on dermatologists, and facialists. She gets too much sun on her travels, all she has to do is drop a few thousand to have laser treatments. Can the people in the countries she visits do the same? Her children are dressed in expensive clothing (that they'll end up growing out of). Big deal, so she gives her money to charity. She makes sure we all know about it, and she also writes it off on her income tax. There are others that give to charity, giving what little they have...including giving their time (most of us have to work to survive). Because she can give more, monetarily, and time-wise (she has her own plane), does that make her better? No. The sacrifice of giving to charity by someone barely making it,means more than someone like Jolie giving thousands or even millions of dollars.

To me, she's dirty. There's no sincerity. The truth will come out as it always does. What she does is for herself...be it to ease her conscience, or to gain publicity. The public believes hollywood because they worship these people. It shows how shallow we are, and how sorely lacking we are as human beings.

AJ and Pitt are rich because the public made them that way. It's sickening how people like her are worshipped, and for what? Keep making them rich and watching their movies...what will you gain? They don't give a crap about you. You lose the money you could have used to buy groceries or give to a charity you support.

Jolie is a phoney.

Wow the jealousy abounds.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that she either had a hairline transplant to make her face more proportionately attractive or she has a serious receeding hairline/hairloss issue?

Aside from the millions she has made from fantastic films, she has taken time to save some kids, gave a few children a fantastic brand new lives, donated alot of money to needy charities and still managed to remain one of the most beautiful woman to this date.
All this bad talk about her is just jelousy...If people werent jelous there wouldnt be all these pathetic, jelous, bitchy comments.

October 7, 2007 11:33 PM

I have to agree that many of the negatives remarks seem to be generated from jealousy. I neither adore nor abore the Jolie-Pitts. Yes, They are wealthy. They are successful. They are not ugly. And they are not perfect. It's all okay with me. Why not with some of you?

When you donate any of your time/money/publicity for a worthy cause it helps. Nobody is saying that makes you perfect. Bottom line is it helps other people.

Why such sour grapes? ie;
blady02 quote: "And don't forget the money she spends on dermatologists, and facialists. She gets too much sun on her travels, all she has to do is drop a few thousand to have laser treatments. Can the people in the countries she visits do the same? Her children are dressed in expensive clothing (that they'll end up growing out of)."

So, are you saying that when those of a higher standard of living give to those who are in need, the giving is worthless unless the needy live a lavish lifestyle? When you donate to the homeless, is it an empty gesture because the displaced are not able to live in a mansion? You give canned goods to the hungry, but it doesn't count because it isn't champagne and cavier?

Do you donate to the needy? If you do, do you require that you lower your own standard-of-living to those that you are trying to help? Or do you continue with your quality of life, feel fortunate, and keep on giving?

Why all the hate messages about Angelina Jolie? There are so many more people deserving of hatred in this world like Paris Hilton and George W. Bush.

Yeah she's beautiful thats for sure, but most beautiful woman in the world, is taking it just a tad too far.

id just like to say that as a child i got good grades..then we moved; i didnt do so well in school. we moved a lot more times, including overseas; i got teased for having a different accent, etc..i have to say 1st hand it IS detrimental to a childs education. i also witnessed it happen to my niece, unfortunately..its true children need stability. its like pulling up a seedling repeatedly, its not going to do well =/

Angelina Jolie is a sexually magnetic head case and a terrific actress. Good to look at, entertaining and to be avoided like a black widow spider.

The fact is that Angelina Jolie is a WELL-PAID and FAMOUS...WHORE!...she WEARS her "kids" like other women wear their HANDBAGS!...has ANYONE ever noticed that their BEAUTIFUL BABY SHILOH is VERY RARELY seen?...when she is...Brad is the one who carries her!...the RARE picture of Jolie carrying Shiloh?...neither SHE nor SHILOH were smiling!...but, then again...an AMERICAN WHITE BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL is NOT what is making the NEWS!...if Jolie & Pitt REALLY want to help out kids...how about the AMERICAN KIDS?
